cutter Thistle and tho American sloop
Volunteer was sailed on tho 9th, over the
inside course Of the New York Yacht club,
as required by the deed of gift governing
the possession of the cup, and the Yankee
sloop won in fine style. The distance sailed
was thirty-eight miles. There was not
wind enough to start the boats until two
hours after the time in the
official programme. When it came it was
light, but there was enough to enable the
yachts to complete the course we'll within
the time limited in fact, with two hours to
spare. 1t was just the kind of weather
which admirers of the Thistle had
predicted would mean victory for the
Scotch boat. 1t was just the sort of weather
which admirers Of the Volunteer most
dreaded. Under these circumstances no.
body would nave been surprised had the
Thistle won. Everybody expected at least
a close race. But after the first twenty
minutes it was no rae at all, it became a
procession with the Thistle falling further
and further astern. From start to finish
the Thistle stood no chance of winning. The

CHICAGO, H., March 3O.-At last
evenings session of the National
Builders association, number of reso-
buttons were introduced and referred.
William H. Sayward offered a resolu-
ton favofing the Organization of trades
unions without interfering with indie
pendent personal action, and advising
the adjustment of difficulties between
master and man without resOrting to
strikes and lOckouts. The Philadel-
phia delegation presented resolutions
holding that the interests of labor and
capital we're mutual and should
not by any undue measures be
antagonized. It was not right OF just
for one class Of mechanics or laborers
to endeavor by threats or dictation to
encroach upon the vested rights of an
other class. 1t was the duty and pro-
vince of each class Of producers within
the great human family TO employ its
surest means and best efforts to
ameliorate the condition of its individ-
ual members, endeavoring thereby to
secure the best results and good for
the greatest number. The resolutions
| favored arbitration and defined a set OF
principles in agreement with the fore
| going.
